If you are going to change to MD5, why not really fix it and dump the
ghastly Dinstinguished Names, the Assinine One syntax, and the other
ISO nonsense. Can anyone name any successful system that uses
Distinguished Names? I can think of only one, Lotus Notes, and that
is presumably because it completely hides them and not user ever has
to deal withone.

would advising ISO that we think an open review comittee should be
formed under ISO for consideration of how to profile the V3
certificate be a reasonable thing to do?
After all, it's their standard, and it's usually better to fix such
a problem at the source than down the road....
